PERSPECTIVE
Accolades
From our point of view, horses, thoroughbred horses —
like the ones shown on the front cover — are
unstoppable. It seems they can run fast and free as long
as the wind is at their backs. Like these horses,
American Income has its own unstoppable
thoroughbreds — Producers, Managers, PR
Representatives and SGAs. With drive and
determination, these outstanding individuals prove day-
in and day-out they are the leaders and top performers
not only at AIL, but in the entire industry.
Every year, we honor these unstoppable groups and
outstanding individuals all the while counting our
blessings they have chosen to be a part of our team. It
is their efforts and hard work
that give our Company its
continued momentum.
This issue of Spotlight
acknowledges those who have
distinguished themselves as
the cream-of-the-crop in a
gathering of superb
professionals, and it is our
privilege to boast their
accomplishments.
A list of our top Producers,
Managers, PR Reps and
SGAS for the year 2002 can
be found on Pages 12 and 13.
Without further ado, I want to take this opportunity to
congratulate all of you who have achieved this most
prestigious success. It is your daily pursuit of excellence
which stands as a motivation and example to us all.
Success, in and of itself, is a motivating experience.
However, planning for the future and envisioning where
же will be leaves most of us driving to the next level.
At American Income, we are always looking to the
future to plan ahead and make things easier for you
and your customers, We dedicate ourselves to
providing you with what you need to reach that higher
level of success.
This year presents a unique opportunity for us all. The
economy has been sluggish, and many of our union
brothers and sisters have watched their nest-eggs
dwindle. The opportunity for us lies in helping these
individuals find a better way to protect what they have
worked so hard all their lives to save.
Check out our new Terminal Illness Accelerated Death
Benefit Rider (TIR) on Page 16 and find out how this
new rider can help your clients in their time of need.
Learn from the best on Page 17. Read how Marlon
Underwood achieved his top Individual Producer
distinction, and how Malka Arony has remained a
leader in the PR arena for 20 years. Let these two
remarkable individuals show
you the way down the path of
success, and let them share with
you their trials and triumphs in
finding opportunity unlimited.
Our objective at American
Income is to assure your
longevity with us, while at the
same time establishing a long-
term commitment to the unions
you serve. You are important to
us, and it is by expressing our
gratitude for your efforts that we
can set our sights to the future
and look to the coming year with enthusiasm.
In this tradition of honoring your achievements, we ask
that you in return let us know how we are doing, and
how we can better serve you. Take a look at the new
layout for this issue of Spotlight and offer us your
suggestions on what works and what doesn’t. Check
out the bottom of Page 3 and send us your ideas.
Again, congratulations to our award winners and all of
our Disney® World qualifiers. As we toast your success,
we toast to the future and offer up our accolades. See
you in Orlando!

FIELD INTERVIEWS __
“The difference in successful people and
those who aren't is that successful people
only remember the great things that
happen to them. Unsuccessful people
dwell on the negative constantly. When 1
have a bad call, pick myself up, forget
about it and move on to the next home.
You can't go to the next home with
rejection on your face because it shows.
Attitude is everything; its what sets me a
part from the rest. I love being positive —
1 marinate myself in positive vibes — I wallow in it.
Success is also about having balance in my life mentally and
spiritually. 1 listen to tapes of motivational speakers in my car and 1
read the Bible everyday. You also need а backup plan. I don't rely
just on my PR reps to provide me a place to go. I set my own
appointments too with referrals 1 receive from satisfied clients and
with prospects I may have missed in the past
There's no doubt, selling is an art. For the past 20 years I've trained
myself to really study people and have good eye contact when 1
speak. If you observe your prospects when they're talking, as well as
ally listen to what they're saying and ask questions you'll discover
what they need.
1 like to use vivid scenarios to show prospects the seriousness of
buying insurance coverage from me today. 1 put the husband,
spouse and children in real life situations to which they can relate.
If l'm speaking to the spouse I ask, ‘If you're not employed, what
money will you survive on when your husband's gone? When
discussing kids I say, ‘If something happens to Johnny I know you'd
want to be at the hospital and our Accident/Hospital policy сап
help you with thar.’ Then I give them a choice in coverages: Basic
or Gold. The Basic plan runs about $53/month and includes
Whole Life, the readjustment income plan and Accident/Health.
protection. The Gold Plan is about $68/month and includes all the
Basic products plus a death benefit on the spouse and children.
1 always assume that my prospect is going to buy from n so l'm
really there to explain product details and tell them abot our
company. Union members, like myself, already know they are
missing benefits and AIL is so great because we provide
supplemental coverage that will stay with them for life!
Before I leave the home I make sure that my customers feel good
about their purchase, 1 welcome them to the AIL family and
congratulate them on making such an important decision, 1 always
ask for referrals too, For every donated canned good item for our
strike relief fund, I offer clients to sponsor the person of their
choice for a no-cost $1,000 AD&D policy. When I deliver this 1
present other products and say, "Your uncle chose our Basic plan;
which package would you like?
The best advice 1 could give to a new agent is to never give up.
Keep going no matter how hard it may get, Make your time count.
Life is too short to dwell on anything or anyone who is negative."

"About 26 years ago a friend told me about
a receptionist position in AILs Los Angeles
office. 1 applied, got the job, and shortly
after started working part-time in public
relations to make some extra money. Then.
ten years ago David Cohen gave me the
‘opportunity to come out to Phoenix and
run this office. I'm just a Jewish Valley girl
and 1 admit the move to Arizona
was a stretch, but it's become the perfect
place for me.
1 love this job because it allows me to meet all kinds of people at
the political functions and union events I arrend. My mother even
said, This is the perfect job for you. When you were three years
‘old you used to stand on our balcony and invite people up for
coffee all the time!”
Pm not a super salesperson. My strength is my service. 1 put
myself in their shoes and try to feel what it will mean for them to
have our coverage. Getting the business is hard, but keeping it is
harder, so service is key. Some cases take two years to close and
others а few days. In the beginning you wait a long time and it can.
be frustrating. Once you're established with the union the fun
begins. You've got to pay your dues, but the reward is big.
100 members. After all, the larger groups started out small and
everyone has the right to expect the best from me, 1 work for
SGAs who feel the same way and it's great, It's what sets AIL
apart from the rest.
Another important thing 1 believe in doing is getting involved
with the community, When we came out to Arizona we had a lot
of work to do to establish ourselves in the community. 1 joined the
Labor Council and took the President and Head of the Education
Committee to lunch and told them we wanted to give them a
$1,000 scholarship. This helped give us а lot of credibility with
them and helped solidify our relationship.
Having the right SGA is important too and luckily I have two of
the best! It costs money to build up а PR agency and they back us
up when we need it. However, you can't buy your way into the
union, you have to earn it. Its a combination of being there, doing
the sweat work like walking the picker lines with them and
plugging into the community, In some states there's labor activity
every single week so there's really no excuse for not participating in
these events
My advice to new PR reps is to be in as many places as you can.
Be real because people can always spot a phony person. Don't give
up when you feel defeated. If you don't have a case to work on, get
ош and do something: service a call or deliver a claim check. Be
In terms of service, respect and commitment, I believe in treating positive and something will happen."

1 flunked Anatomy in college. Okay, well, 1 almost
flunked Anatomy. I realized Science was not my
strength. However, if I was going to complete my
degree in Physical Education, I knew I had to come
up with a better system for studying Science ог
change my degree.
My sister was a nursing student at the time, and she
helped me develop а great system for learning
Anatomy, She put some words together in a song,
and each time I was in Anatomy lab, | caught myself
humming the wor “Fetal pigs, tails to sternums,
take ‘em apart, that's how you learn "ет, take the
thyroid out, look ‘em all about. . ." and the song went
on and on. 1T learned a little
more, sang a little more, and
by the time I finished the
course, the whole lab was
singing my tune, Thank
God the instructor had a
sense of humor and found
me amusing, I squeaked by
with a C minus.
Needless to say, | changed
my major to Social Work!

and I have been spending
lots of time lately teaching “PR.” Next week, there
will be eight top PR field performers coming into
Waco to the LEADS Institute. They have
volunteered to assist in establishing the best practices
in teaching, managing and executing PR in the field.
They will be the first cadre of field trainers made
available to help each of us in achieving a higher
level of success and developing a solid PR force in.
our Agencies,
As a company we are at a critical point — studying
the science of PR, improving our systems, and asking
people to dedicate themselves to their degrees. Many
of you are masters in the ways you have always done
things. However, right now with flat lead production
we are just squeaking by. Growing can be
uncomfortable, but now is the time to do it. If we
take a moment and examine our ways and find out
how to improve upon them, in the end we all benefit.
Among our many objectives this year is an increase
in leads. As we face this challenge, our new
curriculum for success will be learning new
systems and establishing clear expectations with a
managed accountability.
1 wish it were as easy as learning the jingle my sister
taught me with retooled words like, “Labor Councils,
Credit Unions to union
members take 'em apart that's
B how you learn 'em, take their
issues out, look 'em all about. .
| 7 However, the catchy tune is
just part of the equation. Your
| dedication to a new goal and a
commitment to finding better
ways of achieving success will
| be an important component in
reaching that higher level.
We can't just be satisfied with
squeaking by, and finding
success won't come as casy as
just changing your major.
Our PR division consists of some of the most
outstanding individuals in the business. It is now up.
to us to follow their lead, and set the example for
others to follow.
Remember, it starts with learning the jingle, but ends
with executing the things that make us successful in
the market place. It takes the whole Agency pulling
together to make sure we end the year with a passing
mark of which we all can be proud. It is up to us to
make it happen, and I know we can do it!
